Habu
Reubin Flood, the most wanted man in the history of the Federation of Planets, is one of the few remaining survivors of «Olde Earthe,» as it's now called. He's also the most dangerous human alive, when he finds himself cornered on an agricultural planet named Snister. Following his wife's murder, Reubin vowed to destroy the company world government; but to do so, he has to find some way of controlling the alternate personality that lurks deep in his subconscious–Habu, a primeval berserker of inhuman proportions, whose only purpose is to kill, maim, and destroy. Every major law enforcement agency in the Galaxy has been hunting «Habu» for centuries, following the massacre of another world's entire population. As the forces gather against Reubin/Habu, each intertwined personality must learn to live with the other if they're both going to survive. A stunning SF adventure, available for the first time in two decades!
Babylon Sisters
Paul Di Filippo is one of Science Fiction's finest short story writers, wild, witty, exuberantly imaginative; <i>Babylon Sisters and Other Posthumans</i> is a generous showcase of his strange, transformative, and powerful hard science fiction visions. <P> The fourteen stories collected here are glimpses into the most fantastic possibilities of human evolution-biological, social, and cultural. From a New York split into warring walled enclaves, to the destiny of our species as a strain of virus, to an Africa made over by nanotech messiahs, to a future Earth protected by half-alien angels, to wars of liberation from what we have always so tragically been: these are only some of the awe-inspiring transitions to be found in Babylon Sisters. Read here of rebellion by books against their librarian, of cosmic destiny remade by stellar lunatics, of disorienting ventures beyond the boundaries of the human; discover here the perverse and terrible dangers of the age of posthumanity.

Alex Alexander, ship's biologist, must help solve the mysteries of human and alien ecosystems that he encounters light-years from home. The planet Floria initially appears to be one of the few Earth colonies that's actually prospered since its initial settlement. But underneath the surface of the society, the «Planners» keep a strict, repressive rule over the Florians, while the police are apparently attempting to assert their own authority. But is either group actually what they seem? Daedalus Mission, Book One.

Deluge
A great cataclysm shakes the world, and much of Great Britain sinks beneath the ocean during a terrifying windstorm that has already flattened most of mankind’s dwellings. Martin Webster and his wife, Helen, manage to survive that first horrible night, but become separated as waves of salt water come surging into the English countryside. Webster, believing his wife drowned, moves into an old railway tunnel, which provides some shelter from the elements, and manages to scavenge some of the remnants of civilization. While down by the shores of the new sea, he sees a woman stagger out of the waves after swimming miles from some outlying island. Claire moves in with Martin, but is kidnapped by a band of twenty renegades who mean to use her as a common mistress for the group. Webster manages to rescue her, but the pair are besieged in their tunnel until a second group, headed by Tom Aldworth, attacks the outlaws, and saves them for an uncertain future. See also the stirring sequel, Dawn.
